Humanoid rats beware, there's about to be a new extermination simulator in town, and this time, it ain't content to just fend off your ravenous hordes. Yes sir, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will also be stickin' it to Ye Olde Chaos Warriors, who are decidedly bigger and less cowardly than their ratkin compatriots.

Fatshark announced via a Twitch live stream yesterday that Warhammer: Vermintide 2- the follow-up to their successful FPS loot game based in the Warhammer universe - will be arriving on the PC next month. Sharpen your blades, load your muskets, and ready your bows, for Chaos is coming...

A few months ago, Fatshark teased a follow-up to their popular cooperative FPS, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide. Vermintide 2 is slated to come out sometime early next year with a number of improvements over the original, including a new hero progression system with different “career” options, a better loot system, and a new enemy force to face - Chaos. A beta is on its way, but ahead of that, we got to check out a limited demo and it left us wanting to see more.

Last month, Fatshark confirmed/teased that yes, indeed, a new Vermintide was in the works. Yesterday, we finally got a bit more info on what's new/different with Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Specifically, a new hero is being added, there are different "career paths" from which you can choose for your hero of choice, and some new enemies have entered the fray: the forces of Chaos.
